> ...why the candidate wants to work at our place.

Sorry to be blunt, but - to earn some money to feed their family? Just like applicants are not unicorns, neither are companies - unless you are FAANG nobody really cares about your shitty company really. (Maybe not even if you are FAANG.) If the CV matches the JD, why do you have doubts if they have an idea about the work? They obviously haven't the faintest idea, but how could they (unless your code is open source).

From the applicant's perspective, they are applying to multiple places at once. Investing emotionally at step 0 (when they don't know if their CV will even be considered) is taxing, and unfair. Once there is a connection, you can expect them to invest more, but not until then. Because they will apply to 10 places, get ghosted by 5, get an automated NO response from 4 (usually a month later), and maybe, MAYBE they get an invite to the last one. Get a conversation started first and THEN expect investment.
The story probably has two sides, as you mention.

However, I think everyone should be in charge of their own decisions, including taking not approved drugs, without being considered criminals or similar, under their strict own responsibility.

I'm excited to try these! I love discovering new fruits.

In the same vein -- is there any website that catalogues all the fruits you can buy around the world? That documents all the varieties, together with which countries/states/cities you can find them in?

When I travel, discovering new fruits is one of my favorite parts. Like when I discovered the custard apple [1] in Brazil, it blew my mind.

And it would be really cool to have a list of all the fruits you could buy when you travel to make sure you don't miss any. Or the fact that the article says tejocotes are sold in NYC -- when I've never come across them -- makes me wonder what other fruits are here that I also had no idea?

> I think the concept of a ubiquitous language is excellent. Everyone should standardize on a common set of vocabulary. We even took it so far as to have a dictionary of our business domain terms. It's so obvious in hindsight that it seems completely foolish to do anything else.

I started doing this after working on ANSI/ISO standards. It feels like a hassle until there's an 'ah-ha' moment where (e.g.) everyone realizes that what Group A called 'foo' was what Group B thought was a reference to a 'foo', and not the thing itself.
> Universities are largely ideologically monocultural now. This isn't education, it's indoctrination.

I would speculate that what you’re seeing is society in general being much more of a monoculture than it used to be. Extremes still exist, but they are far fewer than they were 100 years ago, when people couldn’t even use certain water fountains because of the color of their skin.

Maybe the point you’re getting at is that universities used to be edgier—it was more of an environment for challenging the status quo and not being afraid of controversy. I agree that it’s extremely not like that anymore, to the point that even guest speakers on campus are frequently boycotted or threatened.

I think it may be indoctrination in a systemic way, but not as a conscious, active effort. I don’t think there’s a secret group of people deliberately making universities more monocultural with that as the intended outcome. But I recognize that a process may have naturally led to this regardless.

> General education needs to happen in K-12

I think there’s value in extending general education beyond what public schooling offers, which isn’t much. Public school really fails to engage students in meaningful and interesting ways. People graduate hating math and thinking it’s stupid and pointless because they’re never given context as to why it’s interesting, or shown all the cool things math allows us to do. Universities can engage people in topics they wouldn’t normally consider, and that’s where the value of general education comes in. My partner is a great example of this—she got to attend a series of university lectures when she was in high school, covering a broad range of topics designed for her age group to help them figure out what interested them. She attended a physics lecture on dark matter, and it genuinely sparked an interest in a topic she had previously found hideously boring. She now has a PhD and a prestigious career in that field, and it never would have happened without that generalized exposure that universities provide.

> Nobody in their right mind would suggest an English or History major should be forced to take a solid year worth of CS coursework as a condition for obtaining the degree. Why is the reverse OK? It is not.

I would say English is definitely a worthwhile course for CS majors, due to my previous point.

> Here's another thought experiment

Yes, I agree. A university is not optimal for maximum efficiency in job performance, but that’s not really its primary goal. And I think universities are fine the way they are (minus the monoculture, the expense, and the problematic treatment of grad students, along with the publish-or-perish mentality). That said, there should also be better, more accessible mainstream options for the kind of training you’re describing.
>Then we could begin forcing manufacturers to sell security updates regardless of the age of the device.

Who's going to pay for those updates? It's hard for the economics to work out. It makes sense for handset makers to pour engineering resources into developing and maintaining operating systems when there's millions of customers. How are you going to scrape together enough money when there's only a handful of customers?
hey there's even a comment from 2020 where the creator of that project talks about this project, neat! I always wondered if they were connected in some way or independent applications of the same underlying premise: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24065857
Brazil here... city had lots of hills tho i always said it was a 'mild hilly city', my cycles when i measured were around 700-2000 meters of altimeter, between 35-60 kilometers; sometimes we had bad days of few workers (motor and bicycle), so they had to send bicycles far away from the center (which was flat). i remember 3 or 4 people having fixed gears, some single (i had one for a short time, with a ratio of 1.6 or 1.8:1 i think) speed but the vast majority used gears

didn't read much on the internet but fixed gears is quite popular among couriers in flat cities (London, NY). maintenance is simple and cheap. salaries are quite low too :)

i never saw an electric fixed gear bicycle, nor much electric bicycles down here (i can remember only 1 guy with an electric bicycle back in 2017 and never saw him working much... maybe it was a occasional teen worker that was there to get some dime for parties (we had a bunch of them)). lately people here ride four-stroke engine adapted bicycles... it's quite rare to find a human-powered bicycle courier nowadays. basically Ycombinator liberated a grand for a super anti-competitive and non-ethical company (Rappi) and they destroyed the local courier scene here, later Uber also entered the scene. now you either work on a motorcycle (which also got effected) or you probably be working as most people back in my days; if you don't love cycling in 3 or 4 months MAX. you will give up from the job and you are doing strictly as an extra income or till you find something better (basically any legal job as far as i know)
> Soon enough anything that is even remotely a security threat [...] will require clearance and in office work.

I think this is one of those things that sucks but may be necessary.

You need to trust the knowledge workers that make up your economy to not send your research to a hostile nation so they can take advantage of your R&D investments.

And you need to know that your critical infrastructure (beyond Internet and trains, think about electricity and running water) isn't vulnerable to being slowly pwned and then shut down all at once in a catastrophic event that coincides with a forcible military reunification of one Asian country with another.

Although the latter problem is less malice and more general incompetence in the cyber security realm. Can't solve that with a security clearance or RTO. Solar Winds anyone?

An informed take on what may or may not have happended:

https://youtu.be/w1r8dl4RqMw?si=BzEnCzbgv7oYNNwe

Only one engine was in reverse, and flaps were not down. The YT video also excerpts manuals and diagrams to good effect for a lay person who is not a pilot. Video of engine failing near airport may have been bird strike. They were in flight 4+ hours, so fuel should have been used to an extent, but don't they dump fuel when they are going to land in an emergency like this? The fireball was big, and they should have shut fuel pumps before flare up of reversing engines on runway.

The 1-foot-thick concrete wall for the atenna array seems to have caused it to impact hard enough to cause the most damage and fireball. The video points out there are lots of these with less robust structures at most airports.
You’re right. This is another setting turned on by default.
DDD is one of the most misunderstood "patterns" I've encountered. I started my career in the late 00s, and Evans' DDD/Fowler's PoEAA were treated by gospel as some, and I couldn't quite understand why. With years of experience, I now get it: software being built in 2003 was a lot different than software today.

DDD/PoEAA implicitly are about building long-lived, stateful thick clients -- i.e. a Java/C++ desktop application, because that's what people built by default in 2003. In the past 22 years, things have changed. The Bezos "API mandate" has either explicitly or implicitly been adopted by many organizations. Front-ends are much more likely to be websites/Chromium operating with stateless HTTP requests, instead of long-lived desktop applications. (React has "won" as the default JS framework over the past 10 years, and that has its own set of architectural patterns which don't mesh with DDD.) Backend software is built with a cloud-first mentality: servers can fall over at any minute, the application should scale up by adding more servers, etc...

All this leads to a much different approach. Statelessness is nonnegotiable, since you're dealing with stateless HTTP/GRPC requests that expose most or all of your functionality. The "anemic domain model"[0] is derided as an antipattern by DDD, yet it's the most sensible approach for dealing with objects that get loaded and disposed of with every request. Complex ORM schemes and patterns like "unit of work" are fine when dealing with small amounts of data, but break down when you start needing to care about e.g. splitting transactions into smaller chunks because writing 200,000 rows in a single tx is a bad idea.

I don't think DDD is useless, but its application is much narrower than advertised. It's a shame that even today people are still being taught from DDD as if it's the "right" way to code when for a large amount of modern software it's a terrible fit.

That was the second generation which started in the 2011 model year. The first gen Cobalt was made and sold in the US into 2010 (the last year the first gen was made anywhere). That was also the last full year a car without ABS could be made in the US, since 2011 is when it became required by law.

As someone who managed email (postfix / dovecot) for the Engineering program at a university for over a decade - I would highly recommend that people not do this. At least not for email that's important to you. It's just too easy for something to go wrong and you won't notice until it's too late.

While I'm every bit qualified to run my own email service, I don't. I pay protonmail to do that for me these days and save myself a lot of time, effort and stress.

So the argument is that extending kqueue's interface to handle more and more event is worse than turning more and more events into xxxfd subsystems. Why is that worse, again?

> This can only ever be opt-in if you want to stay on the legal side of the GDPR

The GDPR only applies to personal data. You can collect things like performance data without opt-in (or even an opt-out option) as long as you are careful to not collect any data that can be used to identify an individual, so no unique device IDs or anything like that. Of course, you should be transparent about what you collect. You also have to be careful about combinations of data points that may be innocuous on their own but can be used to identify a person when combined with other data points.

Hm what's an example of those invalid C constructs? I'd be interested in seeing what happened

One answer is the __has_feature tests mentioned in a sibling comment. Then you are using a supported API, not arbitrary code. Browsers should probably support something like that, if they don't already.

But the arbitrary code is still a useful fallback, for when the platform itself doesn't support config probing

I think you're saying that "writing good ./configure is hard", which is absolutely true. But it's still true that feature detection is better than version detection.

I don’t want this to come across as second guessing a cockpit that I wasn’t in, but speaking generally, recover the aircraft to a flying condition (aviate), if not on a stabilized approach with high certainty of continuing to be (mostly aviate and some navigate), go around and hold at a safe altitude (A&N) while you run the checklists and assess the aircraft state (A) and tell ATC what your intentions are (communicate).

I don’t know what the exact state in that cockpit was, but the video of the aircraft sliding down the runway sans gear at a speed that looked well higher and well longer than normal touchdown suggests that they didn’t have a stabilized approach at the end, whether for good or bad reasons is something for the investigators to figure out.

I think they kind of have a point; they were talking about needing a 10kW transmitter - that's a heck of a lot of power for a transmitter, not easy to make at all. And at those frequencies, the antenna is a challenge.
Having said that, a bunch of few-hundred W transmitters in convenient places would be a lot easier, and there are probably easy but inefficient antenna hacks (drop a wire down a cliff/across a park/out of the top floor of a tower block?)
With certain niche medications like trientine it used to be a small manufacturer, the scale of a man with a garage, who had the FDA registration and sold the stuff for a price that allowed him to make a living. That worked fine, until investment banking got there, and raised the price to whatever the market would bear.

Those days are gone, like the old web. Not sure, if the DIY movement can put enough pressure on the drug cartel to drop prices.

I saw your link and thought the basic info was interesting. When I went to order, I notice 'TIP' ... WTF? 20% even. I know you can turn it off, but it highly offended me, for the following reasons:

2) It is a course ... Next thing you know my rent due will come with a TIP request.

3) You never TIP the owner. Tipping the owner is an insult to the owner.
I don't think this analogy resonates particularly well with the drug manufacturing process.

I would think in general the bulk of the expense of a drug comes from its R&D, not manufacture. The cost of manufacture probably varies wildly (with the most expensive being bespoke treatments), but as the talk shows, there have been many examples where a (relatively) simple-to-manufacture drug is kept from those who need it due to prices that do not reflect the cost of manufacture.

Will most drugs be easy to make at home? Probably not, but enough probably can be that I wouldn't dismiss the idea because of some rhetorical overreach.

- translation - also multiple choices, from translate-mode, org-translate, ob-translate, lingva, immersive-translate, etc. I use google-translate - for no particular good reason, it's just an old habit.

- search - consult-omni, it takes some initial tweaking, but then you can simultaneously search on Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, your browser history, etc., while typing the query once.

- dictionaries - sdcv

- etymology - define-it, wiktionary-bro

- word counter - is built-in; reading ease testing - writegood.el
